How does it determine branch naming conventions?

The skill analyzes the issue type to use 'fix/' for bugs and 'feat/' for features, followed by the issue number and a slugified version of the title for clear organization.

How does the Issue Worker handle git conflicts?

By using git worktrees, the worker operates in a fresh, isolated directory, minimizing local environment conflicts and allowing you to continue working in your main directory while the AI works in parallel.

Can I review the worker's code before it merges?

Yes. The skill creates a Pull Request and provides a summary report including diffs and commit logs, allowing you to perform a standard code review before the final merge.

Does it require a GitHub CLI setup?

Yes, the skill utilizes the GitHub CLI (gh) to fetch issue details and create pull requests, so you must be authenticated on your machine.

Collaboration Tools

Automates the resolution of GitHub issues by spawning autonomous Claude workers in dedicated git worktrees.

About

The Issue Worker skill streamlines your development workflow by delegating GitHub issues to autonomous Claude agents. When triggered with an issue number, it automatically fetches the issue context, sets up a clean git worktree with a dedicated branch, and directs Claude to implement the required changes. Once the task is complete, it handles the push to origin, creates a pull request, enables auto-merge, and provides a comprehensive report of all changes made, allowing you to scale your productivity through parallel task execution without interrupting your primary coding environment.
